Romantic winter magic with snowshoeing

Freeriding & deep snow skiing in Lech am Arlberg

Discover the pinnacle of skiing! Skiing through untracked powder snow is thrilling and pure adventure. Around 200km high alpine deep snow runs await freeriders in the Arlberg ski resort.

Heli-skiing

Lech-Zürs is the only ski resort in Austria that offers heli-skiing. Ride in a helicopter to one of three peaks and then ski off into pure powder snow. We shall be happy to organise this unforgettable adventure for you. Resident ski and mountain guides take you safely from Schneetäli (2.450 m) and the nearby Mehlsack (2.652 m) through miles of white powder down into the valley.

Tobogganing

Many paths lead down to the valley but the most fun way is the toboggan run from Oberlech to Lech. You can borrow a toboggan from us and speed down the 1.2 km track.

Cross country skiing

Ice skating and curling

The natural ice skating rink in Zürs doesn’t only offer campfire romanticism, mulled wine and children’s punch, but also lots of fun ice skating and curling. In Lech itself you can have lots of fun ice skating in Hotel Jagdhaus Monzabon.

Winter events

Even away from the slopes there is always something going on. The fireworks in Zürs, the White Ring ski race, or the Bregenz Festival Show in the Snow are just some of the highlights. A diverse programme will delight the whole family!
